I stayed in the stands the whole time watching all of my classmates fights. Some fights were quick, whilst others took awhile. Like Kirishima who was fighting a guy with a very similar quirk, it was going on for awhile until the both of them beat eachother into submission. They would find another way to settle the draw once both woke up.

Todoroki won his match, which I knew he would. As I knew Momo and Bakugo would win there's. When the last match was almost over, I ventured down to the waiting room where I was trying to plan a strategy. Ochako had a great understanding of her quirk, but it would only work on me if she touched me. Distant attacks would have to suffice, unless she got the jump on me.

"You're the last person I'd think of to be nervous about a fight," Bakugo's voice drew me from my thoughts and I looked up to see him leaning on the edge of the table. Next to where I was sitting. I realized a mini hurricane was coming out of my hand.

"I.. um it's stupid really," I stumbled over my words, shaking my head trying to clear it.

"You want to make your mother proud," Todoroki states and I shifted my eyes to see him walking through the door. He sat down across from me, and to be honest, having both of them here made me feel less anxious.

"Not exactly, I know she'd be proud of me even if I flunked out in the first round. I want to make Lycan proud, he looks up to me greatly and I want him to hold onto the hope that he can become strong like me, maybe even stronger," I admit fiddling with the yarn bracelet on my right wrist.

"Having seen him interacting with you after the USJ incident, I can see that he already knows that. I'm sure he's happy to see you do your best. Even without his quirk, he's pretty strong," Bakugo says looking down at me with soft eyes, a contrast to his usual aggressive looks.

"Yeah Drea, it's not stupid to want to show him that he can be like you. But I also agree with Bakugo, your brother loves and looks up to you no matter what, and if he does get a quirk he'll make a great addition to the hero world," Shoto adds and their praise makes me feel butterflies in my stomach, but in a good way.

"That means alot to me, coming from both of you," I replied offering them a smile and with that I was called into the arena.

"Good luck Flower Power," Katsuki says giving me his version of a smile, and Todoroki rubbed my arm as I passed him.

Time seemed to stand still as I entered the arena, all around people were cheering for me, and Ochako. Probably placing bets on who was going to advance into the next round.

The two of us stood in the middle, bowing to eachother before Midnight announced for us to start the match. I surveyed the scene as Ochako got into a fighting like stance, and so did I. She suddenly ran at me, screaming like her life depended on it.

I flipped over her before she could get a hit, and swung my fist at her arm. Pulling a Deku, I grabbed it and twisted, flipping the girl over my shoulder. I placed my body over hers as I pinned her to the ground.

She struggled before touching me and suddenly I was floating off her. Mumbling a curse under my breath, I stabled myself with the wind currents. I wouldn't be able to come down until she released me. So I kept flying around, I didn't know how long she would hold it.

I shot wind at her, blowing her back slightly. Reaching my hand out, lightning struck the ground close to her, and she lost concentration. And I began dropping to the ground, as my legs hit I rolled coming up with my fists raised.

From the stands I could hear people screaming out my name, cheering me on as Ochako came at me once more. She swung her fist, catching me in the chin as I staggered back. But it didn't phase me at all.

My face stung a bit as I grabbed her around the waist and tackled her to the ground. Slamming her down hard, she gasped as the wind was knocked out of her. I kept one leg by her waist to pin her hips as I used the other to step on her wrist. She couldn't touch me this time, as I applied pressure, not enough to break anything. But enough to hurt alot, and eventually she tapped out. Claiming me as the winner for the round. Meaning I'd advanced to the next one.

It wasn't the most entertaining fight, but it also wasn't that quick either. So I guess it was at least somewhat interesting for the crowd. However the next round I'd be fighting Bakugo and I knew he'd go all out for it.

After getting off of Ochako I held out my hand, helping her off the ground. She smiled at me, before giving her congrats on the fight.

"I hope I didn't hurt you," I state waving my hands around her as blue light came from my palms checking for injuries. However coming up with nothing too extreme, although she might be sore for a few days.

"I'm fine Drea really. I'm surprised you didn't go for a more defensive approach but you never cease to amaze me," she reassured whilst also giving praise. And together we walked out of the arena and up to the viewing stands.

There would be a small break before the next round started, and it would be Todoroki against Izuku. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about the outcome of that match.

Our classmates sent praises my way as I stood at the back of the stand, pressing my back against the wall. Ochako went down to sit with Iida as the others began discussing who they thought was going to win the match.

"So I guess next match after this will be you and I," Bakugo says as he came to stand beside me, leaning back on the wall with his arms crossed.

"I guess so, and you better not hold back or I'll kill you," I teased nudging his shoulder, and he scoffed at my comment.

"Hey get your own insult Flower Power," he retorts letting out a huff, getting slightly defensive about it. To be honest though I found his reaction to be adorable, not that I'd tell him that though.

These stupid feelings were going to be the death of me really...

Feelings for both him and Shoto, well let's just say I'm fucked.....
